Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Chevy Volt is correctly classified as a plug-in hybrid because it can be charged through an external electrical source and operates on both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. It is not a parallel hybrid, which would allow the vehicle to be powered by the engine or the electric motor separately or at the same time directly. The Volt primarily operates on electric power until the battery is depleted, at which point it switches to using the gasoline engine, making it distinct from the parallel hybrid configuration.
